they lay claim to the head of naviga'

in the least to the brain-power of the

pause and consider the possible effect
before resorting to such cheap John

Last week the Olympians wanted to fire
salute In honor Of Gov. Semple. but
found that the only cannon in town be-
longed to Gov. Squire. It took . good
man to fire . salute in honor Of his success
sor. but the salute was fred all the same,
Portland Telegram.
The STANDARD is happy to be able
to state that the Telegram went of
half-cocked on that item. Gov. Squire,
although he married into the Reming-
ton family, is not, so far as we know,
the owner of pop-gun, much less a
cannon. Nor was there even a sugges-
ton made to ask the Governor for the
use of a cannon that was not his own.

The woman generally and properly
knows little or nothing about the daily
progress of a mans business. He coa-
ducts his farm, factory, trade, profes
sion without her direct interference or
knowledge. If he makes a loss or
profit she knows nothing about it I'M
less he thinks to tell her. She is alb
sorbed in her work, and when he is at
home he does not wish to talk shop"
nor does she desire that he should.
She knows, or ought TO know, the
general condition of his business, his
profits; his income, how much they can
afford to spend, when they ought to re-
trench, when they are justified in in
creasing outlay. This is all that is
necessary. If he dismisses q man, if he
increases his force if he changes his
methods, she does not feel it, sees no
result from it, is not affected by it.
But with household business the man
must be constantly interfering
L ought to say, he is constantly in
volved III it, 1t is not simply that he
is, as the woman is TO the man, the
ideal object; he is the practical, actual
center, the daily and almost hourly
controlling force. The whole house
hold system revolves around him, is con-
formed to his necessities, is shaped TO
his purposes. Everything of heart and
soul and mind and strength must and
ought to bend to his three meals each
day, prompt, agreeable, sufficient. No
interregnum can be allowed while the
mistress is changing servants. She has
no leeway. If there is a strike in the
kitchen, the man will none the less be
at home in three hours, furnishing for
his dinner, and the children are hun
grier than ever the moment there is
nothing to eat. The house warming,
the room redd ng, the stocking mend
ing, feeding and laundrying all must
go on every minute. The kitchen doors
cannot be closed for three weeks or
three months to let the leaven CT logic
work. They are all hungry now. They
are all sleepy now. They are all dirty
now. The mother must either turn
cook and housemaid herself, or she
must take such maids as she can get at
what prices she must pay.-Gau Ham

Experts In Handwriting.

showed letter one day to lady
who was thought to be great author
ity on such matters. She loaded the
handwriting with every species OF
abuse 1t was the writing of bad
tempered man, of stupid man, of an
ignorant man there could he no re-
lieving feature whatever in such hand
writing as that. "And now, madam"
/ said, will you look at the signature?"
1t was the signature of Macaulay. So, If
you wish TO obtain an opinion worth hav-
ing respecting the ownership of hand
writing, it is far best for you to obtain
a skilled opinion. You are not obliged
to believe the expert any more than If
you are upon jury, and it becomes
peculiarly difficult to believe when two
experts are swearing hard against one
another. Nevertheless, if the opinion
of an expert will not help you, there
is no opinion on which you can safely
go. A very remarkable case of identi-
fication of handwriting came to my
knowledge some time ago. A gentleman
had offered "a very large sum of money
for the discovery of a marriage register,
the production of which was highly
necessary in heavy litigation. A
clergyman from the country wrote to
say that the missing register had turned
up in the vestry box of his own parish.
a solicitor and a well-known expert
were sent down to examine the docu-
ment. The clergyman showed them
the marriage register, and after pro-
tracted examination they all went to
lunch. Then an opinion decidedly I'M
favorable to the genuineness of the
document was delivered by the expert
in handwriting. 1t was quite modern
handwriting and did not possess the
comparative antiquity claimed for it.
"Then how in the world did it get
there?' asked the vicar. The expert
had diligently examined the wears
handwriting in his own note and said
quietly, why, you forged it yourself.
The unhappy parson, being threatened
with highly penal consequences, fled
the country. 1 am sorry to say any
thing against the cloth, but many of
my readers will recognize this as true
story. The moral is that if it is really
necessary to trace and expose an an-
onymous communication you had bet
ter use the best available means for
doing so. London Society.

Discomfort.
by CELIA THAxrKR.


There Is no day so dark
But through the murk some ray OF hope may
steal,
Some blessed touch from heaven that we might
feel,
II we but chose to mark.
Who shut the portals fast
And turn the KEY and let the sunshine in,
Yet 10 the worst despair that comes through SIN
Gods light shall reach at last.
We slight our daily JOY,
Make. much of your veXations, thickly set
Our paths with thOrns of discomfort, and fret
At our fine COLDS alloy,
Till bounteous Heaven might frown
Al such inuat tude and turning lay
on our impatience burdens that would weigh
our aching shoulders down.
We shed too many tears.
And sigh too sore, and yield up TO VICE.
AS IL God had not planned the way we so,
And counted out our years.
Can we not be content,
And lift our foreheads from the ignoble dust
OF these complaining lives, and wait with trust,
Fulfilling Heavens intent?
Must we have wealth and power,
Fame beauty, all things ordered 10 our mlndT
Nay, all these things lay happiness belinda
Accept the sun and shower,
The humble joys that bless,
Appealing TO Indifferent hearts, and cold,
With delicate touch, striving TO reach and hold
Our hidden Consciousness.
And see how everywhere
Love comforts, strengthens, helps and saves US
all;
What opportunities of good befall
To make life sweet and fair.

Tagging nj EtOn.

Tagging is not easy work at Eton.
Fags not only have to wait on their
fag masters at almost all hours, to
bring them water and to look out for
their rooms, but they even have to cook
for them. All the boys of house take
their dinner together, but excepting in
two or three houses where new rule
has been made, every one has his
breakfast and tea in his own room.
And for these meals the poor flags are
cooks and walters. There is even a
kitchen provided for their special use,
where they boil water, brew tea, and
toast bread. Many heartaches have
there been in those little kitchens.
Fancy youngster just out of the homo
nursery, you might say, being set to
making toast, when he knows as little
about it as he does about Latin verses
And yet, if it is not all right, his fastid-
ious master will take him to task with
all the indignation of disappointed
hunger, and then send him off to do his
work over again. But he grows hard
ened by degrees to this work, just as
he does to verse making, and in time
can Joke and laugh as he cooks. And
if. while he talks, he forgets his toast
and lets it burn, what matter? With
little experience he learns to scrape
off the black with knife.-ElizaJeth

Trouble with Professional Nurses.

The protested nurse is apt to have a
will of her own, and in case of sickness
to set even the doctor at defiance. Col
umns might be filled with instances of
their fads. For example, one expert
enced nurse having learned from a
leading accoucheur to anoint the new
born babe before washing it, persisted
to the day of her death in greasing all
her musings from head to foot before
their daily bath, insisting that the prac-
tice was necessary both for health and
the beauty of their compilations. An
other nurse could never be persuaded
to warm the water in which she washed
the baby "No, marm, she would say,
IL always washes children in water
fresh from the hydrant; warm water
makes them delicate" And she would
unhesitatingly give up a good place
rather than yield the point.

The Charm OF Wearing Gems.

One of the charms of wearing a gem
is consciousness of its indestructi-
bility, its permanency, and, if one may
say so, of its personality-the mystery
of natures methods in its slow CRYSTAL
lization in dark telluric depths, of the
glance OF imprisoned powers shut up
within Its walls, remembrance of the
vague old idea of their potency-all
this, and more, to many minds, has as
much force as the inherent beauty of
the thing itself. Who knows what
spirit, what one of the genii, what
enthusiastically commanded sprite is shut
up In the fiery depths of the ruby.
with its purple-blue corners, of the
pigeon-blood tinge, in the heavenly
color and brilliancy of the sapphire, in
the sea-green water depths of emerald
or beryl?
There is always a fascination in its
sparkle, both when we wear it and see
another wear it, or when we lift il
from its dark hiding place in the cas-
ket where we keep it, as il looks up at
us with its lidless, deathless glance of
beauty. But a bit of glass. however
prettiiy coiored-what spirit is there
IN that, made by a man, accord
ing TO formula-what spell
can the most vivid imagination
coniure up in its ray-what mystery
turks in thing that any clown can put
together? Nothing of the poeticai or
romantic attaches to the wearing of the
colored glass, the artificial gem--mere
love OF show and glitter and ostentation
enter into that.-Harper's Bazaar.
